Sets of enameled pots: types and nuances of choice
The pan is an inseparable companion of the hostess. And if the utensils are comfortable and beautiful, then cooking in them is a pleasure. How to choose a good set of enamel cookware, read this article.
How to choose?
Hardware stores offer a huge selection of enamel cookware sets. The variety of assortment simply dazzles. To choose the right option, you need to take into account many nuances.
- Before making a purchase, decide what kind of utensils are needed in the house. If you decide to completely change your kitchen utensils, consider large sets, which include a kettle and several pots of different sizes.
- Consider storage locations - if you purchase a lot of items, it is important that they are not constantly in sight and do not get in the way.
- The shape of the dishes is also very important. Think about which pots are convenient for you to use: cylindrical elongated or low and wide.
- Pay attention to the quality of the products. The enamel coat must be applied smoothly and evenly. There should be no scratches, cracks, bubbles and rough spots on the surface, both internal and external.
- Do not choose cookware with enamel chips, even the smallest ones. No matter how much you like the product, it is better to give up the choice. Microcracks accumulate harmful bacteria leading to various diseases, and the pan itself will not last long.
- Examine the metal rims on the products carefully. Rust under the rim indicates that it does not fit snugly against the edge. Food debris and germs will accumulate here. It is not worth buying such products.
- The handles must be well secured and not wobbly or move, especially on the lid.
